La Perla del Dragón

Ok, I wanted to love this one. It may have been that the narrator doesn't speak Korean (or at least doesn't sound to me like she does. Who knows? I haven't heard it embedded in English like this in years!), or that it's a middle grade audience when I was assuming higher. All I know is the twists that could have been were not and the things that were supposed to be twists just were not surprising. At all. I really want something like this for an adult audience!
